WAL-MART always has them--- look for the Blue Plastic packaging with 6500K written down the side. they have 40, 60, 75 & 100 watt equivalents.

they seriously don't carry them in my state, I've been to just about everywhere too.
yea it pisses me off too, but I had to order them, but now that I think about it. it would probly be more efficient to use twice as many 23 watters for veg and surround the plants as best you can. 4 (42w) is plenty to get huge veg plants.

but the 42 2700k are freaking everywhere and i mean every where, so you could just splurge on lighting for your flower room

HomeDepot has the 27watters in 6500k. It is harder to find that spectrum in the large bulbs without ordering/paying top dollar for one at the hydro store.

My Vons/Safeway has them, 42w actual 6500k by Feit Electric...I had a hard time finding these in a hardware store, and had to look in literally 5 different hardware stores, but the "Do It Center" ended up having them as well. I know what you mean about it driving you crazy, the 2700k 42w really are everywhere, so why not the 6500k???

Because they are more expensive to produce due to the phosphorous costs....they would have to cost more and wouldn't sell well because of it...however commercially it is better at color rending so they will pay the difference in say like a clothing or jewelry store
